Seldom has a more impressive and pleasing spectacle been wit- nessed in our neighboring burgh of George- town. It was « beautiful sight to see so many happy children (three or four hundred, & rently,) gathered in one dense, joyous, an e efted mass, while parents, relatives, and friends, lexning from tbe large old galleries above, shared their juyenile delight. A superb Easter betta 3 presented (as we gathered from the preliminary remarks .of the rector) anony- ously by some lady friend of the church, whose name had been withheld, graced two large tables, which were completely covered with these elegant jiams, in the form ot entertaining, instructive, and superbly bound books, in which the name of each scholar had been carefully inscribed, from the oldest to the youngest. These costly gifts, and the beautifal flowers that adorned the font, eloquent of the the choir, read a very Spacking tribute to the memory of one late scholare, Mothediss’ church, A Storcviowe, and’ p be ub- lished, we understood hi ui im _to say, in the The to the zealous .

Tbis reminds us of the new, beautiful, and nearly com edifice, standing on the very beautiful lot on which the church fronts, which, we were toia ‘was the new Sunday School room provided for this crowd of young people by St. John's con. [Ds eae and soon to be opened aad occupied. erily, weshould think such a school in need of most spacious accommodations. Mr. 4. ares was then introduced by the rector, a: ons whoee interest in the Sunday School enterprise was known to all present. He rose and Pro. ceeded tospeak happily and effectively, Teiating some interesting anecdotes in the course of his address. Mr. H. remarked humerously tnat his friend, the rector, ought not to have insisted on his doing doubieduty; geigen bye his having cbarge of the instrument by which the ve; sweet voices of the children were accompanied. One piece sung by them struck us particalar! The words were, we think, «There's a light the windew for thee.” Part of {t was a ‘solo” by the clear, pesetrating, musical voice of a little creature who stood quietly and modestly at Mr. H.'s elbow as he sat at the instrument, end hardly reaching above it in tallness. The refrain, at the close of every stanza, was sang by the hundreds of children present, together. effect was very good. Then followed the distribution of premiums by the rector; aad eo Spire this very interesting and pleasing scene. e have cince heard that the lady teachers of St. Jonn’s Sunday School intend hoiding « “Fair" and “Strawberry Festival,” in ¢ picorent month of June, for the benefit of t ‘unday School room above mentioned. We the ‘fair’ ladies will meet with the liberal age they deserve Asa slight drawback to the above, we are sorry to add (pro veritatis causa) that the interior of the church edifice, though imposing from ite age and si: icity, presents, in certain respects, a rather forlorn aspect; but we are happy. to learn that, throuch the zeal and energy of the , it 1s soon to be repaired, improved, and materially enii fortheaccommodation of the numerous families who are now pressing for pews more rapidly than the vestry can readily supply them, A VALUABLE LEASE FOR SALE~—OFFICR FIXTURES, FURNITURE, &c.—The lease of Office No. 480 lith street, containing four rooms gas, &c. ‘desirable location for aay busi ness. is for sale.
